Brewed with water from our wells along with 87% local ingredients.
Conjured up in collaboration with our great friends at TRVE Brewing of Denver, Colorado but now also Asheville, North Carolina. Mashed with our standard base of local two row pilsner malt along with a dash of dextrin malt and flaked oats for a sturdy bod. Intensely hopped in the brewhouse and fermenter with a unique blend of columbus cryo, strata and zamba. Fermented with our preferred and classic house westy yeast strain for maximum dryness and ultimate crushability.
With a backbone boasting firm assertive bitterness and full hop saturation, this clear and crushy west coasty has us smitten with the hop blend. Showcasing huge complimentary notes of layered tropical fruits that gives way to some classic danky vibes.
I mean, does Fonta Flora and TRVE even make IPA? Yeah, we have heard that a lot over the years. With an early reputation for both of our mixed-ferm programs, our collective hoppy game has often been overlooked. Go on and take our hand as we guide you on this lightless walk of hoppy temptation.

Tasty WCIPA, heavy waves of grapefruit, passion fruit, and peach, with a little tangerine and maybe a touch of mint, followed by a modest pine bitterness. Good pint!

Pint glass at the Lake House brewery near Nebo. Clear, classy MGD, active, constant frothy. Dry, earthy, sharp onion, pesticide/harsh vegetation. Nose is lost. Mellow flavor but texture is strong. It ends dry, itchy & incredibly astringent. Astringency++
